Abstract
Cu(II) binding mechanisms with water soluble organic fractions (WSOF) extracted from an agricultural soil (W), a soil treated with sludge for 6 years ($WS_6$), a sludge-soil mixture incubated for one week ($WS_1$), and sewage sludge (SS) were studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and potentiometric titrations. Cu(II)-WSOF complexes produced $g_{11}$ values which were larger than $g_{\perp}$ values, indicating that the coordination of Cu(II) complex was an elongated octahedron. At liquid $N_2$ temperature (77K), the Cu(II)-W complex showed an anisotropic ESR spectrum while the Cu(II)-SS complex showed an isotropic spectrum. These spectral results suggest that the oxygen donor ligands of W may form relatively strong bonds with $Cu^{2+}$ due to extensive chelation while ligands of SS may form little or no chelate bonds with $Cu^{2+}$. The ESR spectra of Cu(II)-SS complex also suggest that each of four in-plane ligands (e.g., $COO^-$, $H_2O$, $Cl^-$, etc.) may act independently as monodentate ligands. Oxygen donor ligands such as aromatic carboxyl groups were probably the major Cu(II) binding sites in W. Sulfonate, aliphatic carboxyl group, and N-containing ligands were probably the major binding sites in SS at pH 5. The Cu(II) complexation with N-containing groups increased as sludge was added to the soil. Much higher (6x) pyridine concentrations were required to displace W from Cu(II)-W complex as compared to the Cu(II)-SS complex.
Sewage Sludge 를 시용하지 않은 토양(W), 6년간 시용한 토양($WS_6$), Sludge와 토양의 혼합물을 1주일동안 incubation한 토양($WS_1$), 그리고 Sewage Sludge(SS)로 부터 추출한 수용성 유기물(WSOF)이 구리(II) 이온과 어떻게 착화합물을 형성하는지를 전자스핀공명분광법(ESR)과 전위차적정법을 이용하여 규명하였다. Cu(II)-WSOF 착화합물은 ESR spectra 상에서 $g_{\perp}$ 값보다 큰 $g_{\amalg}$ 값을 가짐으로서 늘어난 팔면체(elongated octahedron) 배위결합을 하고 있음을 나타내었다. $77^{\circ}K$에서 Cu(II)-SS착물은 anisotropic ESR spectrum을 보인 반면 Cu(II)-W착물은 anisotropic spectrum을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 결국 W의 산소공여 리간드가 Cu(II)와 강한 착화합물을 이루는 반면에 SS의 리간드는 Cu(II)와 거의 Chelate를 이루지 않고 있음을 의미한다. 또한 Cu(II)-SS 착화합물의 ESR spectra는 평면상의 네개의 모서리 리간드(예, $COO^-$, $H_2O$, $Cl^-$ 등등)의 각각이 한자리 리간드로서 독립적으로 행동하고 있음을 암시한다. W에서는 방향족 카복실기 같은 산소공여 리간드가 주로 Cu(II)와 결합하고 있는것 같고 SS에서는 Sulfonate, 지방족 카복실기 그리고 질소를 함유하는 리간드가 주요한 결합 site인 것 같다. Cu(II)-SS착화합물과 비교할때 Cu(II)-W로 부터 Cu(II)를 치환하는데 6배정도의 Pyridine 농도가 요구되었다.
